The new subfamily Iuiuniscinae, Styloniscidae, is erected for the new genus Iuiuniscus and the new species I. iuiuensis, which is described from cave of the State of Bahia, Northeastern Brazil. A special ecological character is shown here for the first time for a New World Oniscidea: the construction of mud shelters. An introduction addressing the systematics of Synocheta with emphasis on Styloniscidae Vandel, 1952 is provided, as well as general comments about the dependence of water in some Oniscidea and ecological traits of amphibious Synocheta. The problems referring to nomenclature, taxonomy and the interrelationships in Styloniscidae are discussed.
新的亚科伊尤尼斯科亚科（Iuiuniscinae），属于潮虫科（Styloniscidae），是为新属伊尤尼斯属（Iuiuniscus）和新物种伊尤伊乌斯伊尤尼斯（I. iuiuensis）而设立的，该物种是在巴西东北部巴伊亚州的洞穴中发现的。新世界潮虫首次展现出一种特殊的生态特征：建造泥质庇护所。文中提供了一篇关于潮虫类（Synocheta）系统分类的介绍，重点介绍了1952年的潮虫科（Vandel, 1952），以及关于一些潮虫对水的依赖性和两栖潮虫类生态特征的一般性评论。还讨论了潮虫科中命名法、分类学和相互关系方面的问题。
